Anyone that spends that much time on a bike in the cold, mud, and snow deserves some recognition, at least in my book! I love being outside and on the bike, just not when it's cold.
On the upside, my trainer time this winter has definitely helped my fitness level. I made it to the summit of South Mountain two minutes faster than my previous
PR. I was all excited about that and then read about your day...totally put my day to shame.
